A Bird's-Eye View
In a small midwestern town, Sammy, a transgender teenager walks a tightrope between identity and survival. When an act of violence shatters the surface of small-town life, the story unfolds from multiple perspectives, each revealing their own truths, secrets, and struggles. A powerful exploration of fear, compassion, and what it really means to see one another.
Eric Rickey.
In 1980, I was born in Joplin, Missouri to Shirley Jean and Freddy Dean Rickey where I
had a formidable childhood, traveling place to place and only staying put for a short period of
time. I loved my parents very much but unfortunately lost both of them in a tragic turn of
events at the age of ten. Following their death, my sisters and I went to live with my aunt and
uncle in an underprivileged part of town. I struggled through my adolescence as I failed to deal
with the death of my parents, poverty, and loneliness as I tried to find my way in this world.
